Seattle Hempfest is the largest annual political gathering in support of harm reduction and drug policy reform -- the world's biggest pot rally. See our website at hempfest.org
Seattle Hempfest is held the third weekend in August. Next year's event is August 21-22, 2010 at Myrtle Edwards Park on the beautiful Seattle waterfront, just north of Pier 70.
Event hours are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday.
Admission to Seattle Hempfest is free.
We feature six stages with a wide variety of entertainment and education. Past performers include Kottonmouth Kings, Mo Thugs, Rehab, Vains of Jenna, Source Of Labor, Los Marijuanos, Prezident Brown, our house band the Herbivores, Fishbone, Gruntruck, Children Of The Revolution, The Toyes, Second Coming and 7 Year Bitch. Past speakers include Woody Harrelson, travel show host Rick Steves, former all-pro Dallas Cowboy Mark Stepnoski, author and columnist Ed Rosenthal, Libertarian Party Presidential candidate Michael Badneric, former Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic, NORML founder Keith Stroup and the Hemperor himself, Jack Herer.
Hempfest Vending is now open to the public, and there are blanket and strolling vending available in addition to booth spots. Go to hempfest.org/vending
“The number one marijuana cultural event in the world” – Rick Kusick, High Times Magazine
The event features hundreds of vendors -- the perfect place to snag summer dresses and stylie threads, get new glass, dig on some grubbin' munchies, and generally hempify your life.
Hempfest is powered by an all volunteer staff. One thousand volunteers are needed week-of, with 100 core members working year 'round to pull off the massive endeavor. None of us are paid, and neither are the bands and speakers. We do this because we believe strongly that cannabis hemp is a healing plant and can contribute to a future based on respect for the earth and its inhabitants. We believe drugs and drug dependency are issues of public health, not criminal justice. We believe the War on Drugs is a war on people, and that we must not sit by idly while this failed public policy imprisons our brothers and sisters.
We've established a relationship with the city of Seattle that is very positive. The Seattle Hempfest was also instrumental in paving the way for Initiative 692, which legalized medical marijuana in the state of Washington and Initiative 75, which made possession of small amounts of cannabis the lowest police priority with the city limits of Seattle.
We charge no admission fee into the Seattle Hempfest, drawing all our operating fees from donations, sponsorship, water sales and vendor fees. So, if you come to the Fest, help to support us by throwing a few bucks in those directions.
